A Framework for Robust Assessment of Power Grid Stability and Resiliency by Vu, Thanh Long, Turitsyn, Konstantin

“…In particular, we formulate and solve two novel robust stability and resiliency assessment problems of power grids subject to the uncertainty in equilibrium points and uncertainty in fault-on dynamics. Furthermore, we bring in the quadratic Lyapunov functions approach to transient stability assessment, offering real-time construction of stability/resiliency certificates and real-time stability assessment. …”

Load management system for distributed simulation by Yuan, Zijing

“…The HLA lacks the capability of resource management for running simulation in the aspect of re-source discovery, federate deployment, dynamic load-balancing and fault-tolerance. Hence, this project is motivated to develop a programming framework to facilitate the HLA simulation development, with the consideration for possible integration with the Grid environment.…”

Analysis of the role played by ligand-induced folding of the cocaine-binding aptamer in the photochrome aptamer switch assay by Shoara, Aron A., Churcher, Zachary R., Steele, Terry W. J., Johnson, Philip E.

“…Fluorescence anisotropy measurements were used to quantify the affinity of the conjugated aptamer to cocaine. We also used thermal melt analysis and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to show that the addition of the stilbene to the aptamer increases the melt temperature of the cocaine-bound structure-switching aptamer by (6.4 ± 0.3) °C compared to the unconjugated aptamer while the free form of the structure-switching aptamer-stilbene conjugate remains unfolded.…”

An Investigation of the Reliability of the Taiwan Earthquake Model PSHA2015 by Wang, Yu‐Ju, Lee, Ya‐Ting, Chan, Chung‐Han, Ma, Kuo‐Fong

“…For densely populated faults in southwestern Taiwan, the assessed hazard level is more sensitive to the maximum magnitude of earthquakes than it is to the slip rate of active faults, creating concern for the possibility of larger earthquakes due to multiple‐segment ruptures in this area, which has not yet been considered in the TEM PSHA2015. …”
